[Linux] Illegal instruction error when trying to import psutils

[EDIflyer]

Summary

• OS: Raspberry Pi OS (bullseye) kernel 5.10.63+
• Architecture: 32-bit ARMv61
• Psutil version: 5.8.0 working, error with 5.9.0
• Python version: Python 3.9.2
• Type: core

Description

Setting up a new bullseye RPi image on a Zero W. Previously had psutil working fine. Installed via pip3 as usual sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall --ignore-installed psutil, installation completed OK. However I found my script wouldn't run, crashing out with 'Illegal instruction' (no traceback message, just immediate termination).

I commented out all the imported modules and gradually re-enabled them one by one. As soon as I re-enabled psutil it started crashing again.

I noticed 5.9.0 was a new version and the old version had worked OK on my previous installation so I then downgraded to 5.8.0 via the command sudo pip3 install psutil==5.8.0 This successfully uninstalled 5.9.0 and installed 5.8.0

My python script then started running fine (including the psutil elements)

Same here, v5.9.0 gives "Illegal instruction" immediately after import.

With v5.8.0 work fine.

Same here :(

No other message other than that? Ugh! :( In order to exclude its the wheel package, could you guys try installing psutil from source?

pip install --no-binary :all: psutil

[giampaolo]

Also, does it happen on 32 bit only?

Note that I have the same problem with Pillow 9.0.0. An issue is open here: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/5927

It works fine with this command: pip install --no-binary :all: psutil

Same here, but with pip3 install --no-binary :all: psutil my Python3 script with import psutil works as expected.
